Bill > SB0186

This bill establishes a study to examine charter school base funding costs and creates a new Charter School Educational Service Agency, funded by a $500,000 appropriation. It also amends existing laws to clarify that charter schools are public schools, requires their governing board members to take an oath of office, and transfers the Charter School Revolving Account to a new Charter School Revolving Fund administered by the Utah Charter Finance Authority. Additionally, the bill appropriates $3.1 million for additional base funding to charter schools, with specific guidelines on how this funding should be distributed based on school size and student enrollment, and allocates up to $70,000 of this appropriation for the aforementioned base funding study.
